Description

This critical examination explores the complex consequences of UNESCO World Heritage Site designation, using Luang Prabang, Laos as a case study. The book investigates how prestigious preservation initiatives can bring both economic benefits and destructive side effects to impoverished communities. It reveals the tensions between global tourism development and local heritage protection, offering valuable insights applicable to preservation and tourism projects worldwide. Through detailed analysis of Luang Prabang's redevelopment and packaging as a world heritage destination, the study challenges conventional assumptions about how heritage sites belong to all peoples yet often serve narrow commercial interests. This scholarly work provides essential lessons for policymakers, heritage professionals, and tourism stakeholders seeking to balance community needs with international recognition and economic opportunity.
